I feel like gas station food is a weakness of the scene here in Austin (maybe better in Houston).

This guy taught the high-end cooking class we did in Lima this summer. Here’s an opportunity to save plane fare and still get the yummy goods.

Otherwise, looks very clean at a glance.

By “both” you mean B&S and Slate?

Back to more Roman food for dinner.

Fried zucchini flowers, mozzarella, anchovies.

Lunch at the neighborhood Sicilian joint.

Sformato of potato and anchovies (and just a bit of cheese!)

Lunch today? Sweetbreads, pigeon, cicoria, fig tart, and a wee bit of a view.

Very unfortunate that I am out of town.

Southern red curry with (faux) steak and basil. Chili jam clams. Both from @chezpim.bsky.social and @andreanguyen.skystack.xyz ‘s new _Cooking Thai_. Amazing flavors.

Oh, I guess that doesn’t really address the original question, but it’s still really good.

There’s a great Sudanese sauce whose name escapes me, but it pounds together peanuts, garlic, green chili, and lime juice.

Andrew Riggsby @foodoriented.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Thanks! Fresh noodles and all. My wife makes me make some version of this roughly monthly.

Further to that point. There’s a kind of prescriptivist that can’t stand overlapping usages and must come up with a way to manufacture complementary distribution. This is one of those cases.

But for me this is solely to please some external audience. I think the “rule” is incorrect.

Vibes, then my wife comes in and enforces order.

We had been completely unaware of it.

Had friends over to try what we’d learned on our Peruvian vacation. *Tiradito ahumado of snapper *Causa of grilled snapper in mayo *Sweet tamales with lucuma ice cream *Chicha morada (corn and pineapple, unfermented)

Got it. (Well outside my competence)

Any limits on the time/place in question?

Andrew Riggsby @foodoriented.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Are the differences city-to-city or shop-to-shop?

I wish Ken Paxton would protect puppies the way he protects pedophiles.

Yes. This one apparently mushroom based. My wife is the vegetarian and finds them quite convincing. As a meat eater, I’d say this firm’s products do seem pretty meaty at this point, but don’t exactly simulate any particular meat (ie clearly not beef or pork or…).
